Yoga for Prediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

For everyone, especially Yoga teachers and health professionals

One in 3 Americans has pre-diabetes and 50% of the cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented. 

Learn skills for healthy movement, mindset and mindful eating. Yoga practices help to manage stress, regulate blood pressure, regulate blood sugar and reduce heart disease risk factors. This workshop will be most helpful to people with prediabetes or elevations of blood pressure, blood sugar or blood fats, who want a refresh on the lifestyle skills that reverse metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance.

Learn to engage the parasympathetic/stress balancing part of the nervous system for brain and body harmony. Practice skills to use at home to retrain the body and brain for health, ease, and balance.

Healthcare providers, such as diabetes educators, RNs, RDs, NPs, health coaches, or pharmacists and Yoga instructors who are interested in learning to offer group health coaching with mind-body skills in their own practice setting will benefit.

Preliminary webinars will be available and will enhance the growth, experience, and learning during and after the weekend.
